[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Oregon State AD Scott Barnes met with men's basketball coach Wayne Tinkle today and has agreed to part ways with the coach after the season. OSU has offered Tinkle the option to finish the season. He has not decided.

After beating SLU, Rhode Island has dropped two in a row including getting spanked by St. Bonaventure this evening 94-76. Gotta hand it to him, Archie knows how to get paid. On dollars per conference win basis I don’t think anybody has had the level of sustained success (or optimization, rather) as him…33-44 in the B1G and now 24-45 in the A10

He’s not much better against the spread, if one were inclined to be interested in that sort of thing :)

But, but, but, he took Dayton to the Elite 8! And he's Sean Miller's brother! And...well, that's kind of it, I guess.

On the bright side, the lack of winning is probably making it easier for Chris to avoid beer.

One of my all time favorite CBB tweets

 

I've seen that before but somehow never fully unpacked it beyond the surface absurdity.  If he was drinking "on the verge of a big win", does that mean the beer was disguised in the gatorade bottles?  What other ways did he find to consume it while still on the court?

I think he probably got hammered after he went home, and saying it was tough "on the verge of a big win" meant he was craving it as the game neared the end but knew he wouldn't get to drink. 

 

In any event, glad we're not dealing with this. IU basketball creates enough problems on its own.

Purdue and MSU in a battle…..

[Uspshoosier]

Purdue by 3 at half

Drinking game:  take a drink every time Robbie Hummel says 'roll and replace' when Purdue plays tonight.

Or whenever Renn fouls someone.  You would be drunk in the first 3 min.  Kid fouls every other play 

[LamarCheeks]

Wonder if at a Purdue game, the refs say to the coaches pregame: "As you know each player gets five fouls. Except for No. 4 -- we're gonna give him 10."

Michigan State up 8 with 4:05 remaining.

Sparty looking for their first win at Purdue since 2014

[RaceToTheTop]

Purdue run, down 2 with 2:15

As much as I can't stand the Toiletmakers' li'l Amish kid, for a 5-8 point guard, he sure does a helluva job of getting to the rim. 

[MonteMarcaccini]

Wouldn’t mind seeing this one go into a few OT’s

[LamarCheeks]

Two bad Kohler shots followed by a horrible Benter shot. 

[LamarCheeks]

How the hell do you get a shot-clock violation in the final minute of a game like this!

He’s the Diego Pavia of bball.

[HoosierDevils]

Sparty missing a ton of shots down the stretch. Some tentative and sloppy play to end this one
